I was one of the global TV watching minority who loved 'On the air' when it first screened. I avidly recorded all the episodes on VHS tape... (You can tell what's coming) Those tapes died along with my VHS machine. Recently I've remembered 'On the air' and really wanted to find a way of showing it to my wife and daughter. An endless trudge of internet complete with disapointments is all I've found. (Yes, I am aware that you can watch sickeningly low quality copies on Yutube)

It looks like there's no available DVD to buy. You can get a copied DVD complete with Japanese subtitles.You can download a torrent that has the shows in AVI format (Converted from DivX 5) I have tried this and found that the AVI's are choppy and unwatchable no matter what codec I have installed. This has been quite haert-breaking.You can get the show in Laser disk (To most people that's as useful as offering a Betamax version!)Not available from David Lynch.com

I'm all out of ideas and would dearly love to get hold of a decent quality version of the show. Can anyone help ?

That's 'promising news', and thanks for the info. I would ordinarilly feel excited,however I have patiently waited over a decade (as have most of us) to just see a decent remastering of T.P and have yet to see season 2 in my native R2 format, so 'talking about it' from Mr.Lynch , is something best taken with a pinch of salt. Not that it's his fault that his work has become so underseredly obscure.

In the meanwhile, can anyone comment on the quality of the ebay bootleg of On The Air ?

I am currently in the process of transferring my original 'off the air' (can you see what I did there?) videotapes to DVD. Considering their age, they're in pretty good shape. I have a bunch of what I imagine are pretty rare Lynch-related documentaries, features, etc. from back in the day too. It's just finding the time and wherewithal to get the job done.

I'd like to get my hands on this. Is there any lik to download it? I searched and googled to find On The Air but it didn't work out.I know bootlegs exist but I don't like to buy them - only official releases.

Another OtA cameo I've never seen anyone reference: Lynch is the voice of Mr. Zoblotnick over the phone at the end of the pilot (yelling in Gordon Cole style, but with Vadja's accent: "We have a hit!").
